An earthquake with a magnitude of 7.6 has rocked eastern Indonesia, US seismologists say.

The tremor struck south-west of Manokwari, West Papua province, at 0443 on Sunday (1943 GMT), according to the US Geological Survey.

Residents ran outdoors and to higher ground. A tsunami alert was issued but withdrawn within an hour.

The Indonesian archipelago lies over several continental plates where seismic activity happens regularly.

Hasim Rumatiga, a local health official, told Associated Press electricity went off and residents ran to higher ground.

A policeman said without power it was difficult to check for damage in Manokwari, the seaside capital of the province, AFP news agency reported.

He said the police and military had been helping people get to higher ground.

The initial tremor was followed by aftershocks, including one with a magnitude of 7.5, local seismologists said.

The tremors caused a hotel in Indonesia's West Papua province to collapse.

Officials said three people, who had been staying at the Mutiara hotel in the city of Manokwari, were pulled alive from the rubble and taken to hospital.

Japan's Meteorological Agency told Reuters news agency the earthquake also triggered a small tsunami which hit the Japanese coast, but did not cause any damage.

A huge quake off western Indonesia on 26 December 2004 caused a massive tsunami that killed around 230,000 people around the region.

My Take:
SteveD, hii imechelewa kama wiki moja na nusu hivi.. ila usishangaee jingine lilkaja kubalance hilo

LOS ANGELES — A moderate earthquake struck Southern California Thursday night in San Bernardino, with shaking felt from Los Angeles 55 miles to the west and south to Orange County.

The U.S. Geological Survey shows a preliminary 5.0-magnitude quake struck at 7:49 p.m. about one mile south of San Bernardino. The USGS initially reported it at 4.9.

It was not immediately clear whether any damages or injuries occurred. The lines to the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department were busy. Orange County and Los Angeles County sheriff's officials said there was no immediate reports of damage.

Bryan Gillott, a tattoo artist who works at Alla Prima Ink Lab in San Bernardino, said he felt the ground rolling under his feet for several seconds. He said he did not see any damage.

"I was on the computer," he said. "We all just got to a doorway and waited for it to be over."

Gillott said he tried to call his mother on his cell phone but the didn't go through.
